Ryan Jeffers News: Settles at $6.7 million

The Twins and Jeffers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $6.7 million contract Thursday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

It's a nice raise for Jeffers, who was in his final year of arbitration eligibility ahead of free agency next winter. The 28-year-old catcher slashed .266/.356/.397 with nine home runs across 464 plate appearances with the Twins in 2025. With Christian Vazquez not expected to return, Jeffers is set to be the clear No. 1 catcher for Minnesota in 2026.
